Interactive Language Resource Center

Explore dozens of live-streaming and archived TV programs broadcast in the language you are learning! Discover a new world of television and programming in a new language.

Beginning December 1st, 2016, the Interactive Language Resource Center is now an official testing center for Language Technologies International, the exclusive licensee of ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) tests in speaking, listening, reading, and writing. The Director of the ILRC can proctor exams for your foreign language certification and licensure, proficiency evaluation, and language comprehension assessments. Visit the TESTING section of our site to learn more information and to register for an ACTFL exam.

The ILRC is testing out Duolingo For Schools to see if it is something that you would like to use on a regular basis.

Duolingo is a popular language-learning platform and the most downloaded education app in the world, with more than 300 million users. The company’s mission is to make education free, fun, and accessible to all. Duolingo is designed to feel like a game and scientifically proven to be effective.
